Are the Tim Littles made in UK, or India?

The Rose range are made at the Grenson factory in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Along with the styles for Tim Little, Alban, Stuarts Choice, New & Lingwood.

The Rushden range are made in India.

Do a search on here, it's been discussed many times.

You are right. The Tim Little shoes I've seen were made by Grenson in UK. Some might be a bit more modern/fashion than Grenson Rose, but I do not think they use better materials, still almost double in price.

I'm confused... What did these poor shoes ever do to you to deserve the torture?

Yesterday I saw a pair of new Alfani's at Macy's that had the same affliction and thought of this thread.

I love PG shoes but those suede shoes look like someone tried to wipe the remnants of a stray cat's defecation.
